Not anymore, chemical dipped and well washed out. How would you have removed them?
@thefinaldispatch3 ай бұрын
@@HalfJobGeorgeoriginal poster is silent lol. Could you possibly grind a slot and turn them out?? Also why are freeze plugs or core plugs there to begin with? If they are this hard to remove, couldn’t they just be plug welded? And if they are needed for maintenance, couldn’t they have a hex head so it wouldn’t be such a PITA??

Should you pack the bearing with grease? I thought it lubricated by the axel oil.
@HalfJobGeorge11 ай бұрын
I don’t think the oil makes it that far up with ends of the axle, they are normally packed with grease.
@DavidParkinson10 ай бұрын
Always pack with grease. We used to thrown them with force a few times into a grease can which did a good job of forcing the grease in, or just push it in by hand until clean grease comes out the other side.

Hi, I am 3d artist, i am working on a 3d model of the Land Rover Series 2a. May I ask you how approximately is the length, width and the height of the engine and also of the radiator? I don't need precise measurements of the engine and the radiator, but maybe the ones that you think come to mind. Thank you.
